1. Nurses and Nursing Students: what was/is your biggest pet peeve in nursing school?

   ikatiana21 replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

   I have a few pet peeves I just realized this morning while posting under another forum and I have to agree with some on here! I HATE HATE HATE instructors that are apathetic towards their students/students work. I just switched out a clinical group w...

2. Nursing school not that hard?

   ikatiana21 replied to ikatiana21's topic in General Students

   I go to a school like yours. My Principles teacher doesnt do reviews and goes through her notes a million miles an hour. I catch about 3/4 of what the woman is saying, most of the time. I just had to switch clinicals bc the instructor I had didnt go...

   ikatiana21 posted a topic in Forensic

   I just started nursing in August and I've been looking around at different areas that interest me. So far, this is the area I really want to go into. I was a psych major until I switched to nursing and I was going to go into counseling for for batte...

4. Nursing school not that hard?

   ikatiana21 replied to ikatiana21's topic in General Students

   I understand the burn thing as well, but I learned how to fix that in my case. I HATE getting up early and my classes were three days a week at 7 am (Which seems a lot later than some). I decided on doing the weekend options: 7a to 7p, every other w...

5. Failing First Year Clinical

   ikatiana21 replied to nsgstudent007's topic in General Students

   I havent had to deal with that yet, thank God. My instructor did comment on me being quiet in class, but it was more a complimentary thing. "Delana is very quiet and prefers to observe" I feel for you, I'd probably have flunked out by now. Be stron...

6. Has anyone bought these books?

   ikatiana21 replied to tanner523's topic in General Students

   I was required to buy the Test Success book and have barely glanced at it. If I were you, Id check your college library for any books you are unsure about and see if they are on "reserve" for students to look at. And if only 2 or so things help you, ...

7. How many applied to your school?

   ikatiana21 replied to LadyBug1029's topic in General Students

   I dont know about how many seats were open. But one college I applied to, it was RIDICULOUSLY easy to get into. I applied to Barnes College of Nursing in Oct of 05' and the said I couldnt start until Fall of 07. So around April I decided to apply a f...

8. Nursing school not that hard?

   ikatiana21 replied to ikatiana21's topic in General Students

   Im taking 8 wk classes, so Im in Fall II of my first semester. Everyone I've spoken to has told me that it gets easier after this class Im in now; the classes just level out. And of course the rumors about certain classes and teachers are out of co...

9. Nursing school not that hard?

   ikatiana21 posted a topic in General Students

   I was wondering if anyone doesnt feel that nursing school is as HORRIBLE as people make it out to be? Im a little worried that maybe Im taking things a little too lightly. When I first started nursing school, I was ALWAYS upset and nervous. My teac...

10. Why doesn't anybody think getting into nursing school is a big deal??

    ikatiana21 replied to kellysmom's topic in General Students

    My family and friends were very supportive of me. But I wasnt stressed out and niether were they. I think it depends on your grades and background in school. If you've always had high grades and have done well in school, the stress shouldnt be that ...

11. Second thoughts...

    ikatiana21 replied to ikatiana21's topic in Student Assist

    Thinks have gotten better since I first posted, but not because of my instructors; they are for the most part still useless. However, I went to my first clinical and the RN's on the floor and the PCT's were WONDERFUL! They taught me way more than, I...

12. Second thoughts...

    ikatiana21 replied to ikatiana21's topic in Student Assist

    Group work is just what is sounds like, working in a group. I dont feel comfortable being "taught" by people that could be teaching me wrong, and I dont feel comfortable teaching things I dont know. I dont like standing in front of groups demonstra...

13. Second thoughts...

    ikatiana21 posted a topic in Student Assist

    I just started nursing school and I'm already second guessing my choice. I really would like to be a nurse, but Im so unsure of what Im doing, I wonder if any nurses felt that way in the beginning. I have issues with group work, but my client interac...
